Description

About Uber

We’re changing the way people think about transportation. Not that long ago we were just an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas. Now we’re a part of the logistical fabric of more than 600 cities around the world. Whether it’s a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it.

For the people who drive with Uber, our app represents a flexible new way to earn money. For cities, we help strengthen local economies, improve access to transportation, and make streets safer.

And that’s just what we’re doing today. We’re thinking about the future, too. With teams working on autonomous trucking and self-driving cars, we’re in for the long haul. We’re reimagining how people and things move from one place to the next.
We are looking for skilled software engineers with 3+ Years of experience to work on various internal and external facing projects here at Uber. As an engineer on the Visualization Team, you’ll be embedded into a team developing data products to visualize business, geospatial, machine learning, experimentation and self-driving car data. We work in collaboration with multiple groups including Maps, Marketplace, Business Platform, Advanced Technology Group, Product Insights and Rollouts, Risk and Safety, Communications and Policy to provide visual exploratory data analysis tools to help us better understand our data and make our critical workflows more efficient.
